Gender-Specific Fat Distribution and Association with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Study of Adiposity Indicators (DEXA, BMI, Waist-to-Hip Ratio) in Adults from Qatar

<h3>Aim</h3><p dir="ltr">This study aimed to investigate the difference in adiposity measured by DEXA between people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and those without. Moreover, we investigated the most reliable adiposity measure for discriminating people with T2DM f...

description <h3>Aim</h3><p dir="ltr">This study aimed to investigate the difference in adiposity measured by DEXA between people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and those without. Moreover, we investigated the most reliable adiposity measure for discriminating people with T2DM from those without in clinical settings.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">A cross-sectional study was conducted from the database of Qatar Biobank (QBB), which comprised adults with a previous diagnosis of T2DM mellitus in Qatar. t–test and multivariable linear regression models were used to assess the association between T2DM and the difference in DEXA and BMI adiposity measures. Moreover, an evaluation of the odds of abnormal waist-hip ratio in participants with T2DM using an adjusted multivariable logistic regression was conducted.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Among the participants with T2DM, males had less fat in the leg region, while females had less fat in the legs and gynoid regions, compared to individuals without T2DM. Females with T2DM had a higher average BMI. Moreover, the odds of having an abnormal waist-to-hip ratio were higher in males and females with T2DM compared to persons without T2DM.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">There were different patterns of fat deposition in males and females with T2DM. T2DM was associated with a higher BMI in females only. The odds of abnormal waist-hip ratio were higher in individuals with T2DM of both genders. Waist-hip ratio showed reliable discrimination for T2DM and has implications for clinical practice.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.en" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.2147/dmso.s432331" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.2147/dmso.s432331</a></p>
